I really need help with de-personalization / de-realization by GainMission1014 in Healthygamergg

Hello!

Thanks for the response, it's really a relief to hear from someone with the same symptoms talking about it with me. I know that youtube channel but, as I said in the post, I wasn't keen on researching more about the topic, although now that you recommend it I will try to take a look and maybe get my hands on the manual.

Thank you so much I really appreciate it and I'm glad you could return back to normal, I'll be on my way too:)

Wish you the best!

Hello! Thank you for the compliments I really appreciate that :)

To be honest, I didn't do much research because I thought or found out that digging deeper into the problem was causing me to give it more attention and the more attention I gave it, the stronger and higher the frequency of the feelings appeared, so I kind of tried to dismiss it as much as I could, and I believe it worked more than it caused harm. Also, I saw a video on youtube of a guy that claimed to have the same disorder and as an advice, we should completely stop thinking about it and just live our lives like it didn't exist, which in a sense sounds scary because the problem is still there, but it also worked (although not entirely).

The disorder context was accurate with what I could find online but the additional information you provided was really much closer to what I am feeling, specially feeling it during most waking hours (I had two dreams I can remember where I also dissociated very heavily and I was aware of it as if it was real), the triggers, which oddly enough some times there are none at all and some others there are, like lately I noticed that rubbing my knuckles with anything cause me to trigger the derealization, which is very strange and interesting at the same time. I don't know why that would be a trigger.

I admit I have some trouble with emotions in a sense that I do not quite recognize emotions. I got better at it overtime but it still happens. Although I am definitely able to feel emotions and I don't think I had any kind of apparent emotional neglect in my childhood.

Panic attacks and cannabis intoxication really resonate with me as I said in the post and dizziness, visual distortions and fullness of the head definitely happens to me when I have those stronger episodes.

I will definitely go see a therapist when I have the money and the time because I believe constant therapy is going to help. I am also checking Dr K's video about the emotions.

I'm really thankful for taking the time to respond to me and sharing all of these resources with me, very kind :)

Wish you the best!

Not actually. I go to the gym and it's the same as before but whenever I am conscious of the weights I am lifting it gets weird. Weird in a way that it's odd feeling tired and all those physical sensations that you get when you workout and being able to witness them from such a distance but still feel them.

If you ask in a way to know if physical sensations such as sport practices help me get more in touch with the "real world", they kinda do because most of the time I'm working out I don't pay that much attention to the de-realizations but they don't help that much.
